Fix Recommendation

Edit the local initialization file(s) and remove the relative path entries from the PATH variable that have not been documented with the ISSO.

Edit the local initialization file(s) and remove any empty entry that is defined.

Check Contents

NOTE: The following must be done in the BASH shell.

Examine the PATH variable contained in any user's local initialization files using a command shell that supports the use of ~USER as USER's home directory.

# cat /etc/passwd | cut -f 1,1 -d ":" | xargs -n1 -IUSER sh -c 'grep -i PATH ~USER/.*'

The PATH variable is a colon-delimited directory list.

If there is an empty entry, such as a leading or trailing colon, or two consecutive colons, this is a finding.

If an entry begins with a character other than a slash (/), or has not been documented with the ISSO, this is a finding.
